Join this timely discussion about practical solutions to our pressing economic, social and ecological problems. Solutions that are democratic, equitable and green by design. These solutions start where all change comes from – from our own communities and workplaces and from the bottom up.

Together with the audience, the following questions will be addressed:

How are progressive forces in the UK pushing for new economic models based on local solidarity and cooperation instead of exclusion?

What is Momentum, the movement behind the Labour party, doing to push for these new transformative policies?

What kind of political changes will realise the potential of a new egalitarian democratic economics?

Can we extract lessons for a Europe-wide strategy for a new politics based on democratic economics?
